The major centers of gambling such as Las Vegas and Atlantic City have shown little growth. The expansion of Native American casinos and the emerge of online gaming are factors to the decline in growth. Now casinos fell the need to sped more and more to entice more gamblers. For many years Nevada was the only state in which casinos where allowed. Nevada still retains its status as the state with highest revenues from casinos, with revenues reaching $10.3 billion in 2004.
Countless Indian tribes endured terrible conditions within the reservations and received scare funds from the government to improve their living conditions, which contributed to the tremendous disadvantages they faced in a predominately white society. Treaties made in regards to their land, were often disregarded or twisted to fit the needs of the government, yet they were the dim hope Native Americans had in regaining some sort of identity one day. Decades later, the hope of becoming a truly sovereign nation came in the form of gaming establishments, which generated revenue for the tribes. The degree to which gaming has benefited the tribes is debatable, as it has produced a means of generating economic activity, all the while forcing them to continue assimilating into a culture they never chose to be a part of. Great gains have come from the opening of casinos on tribal land, ranging from economic benefits to social recognition, yet harmful results have developed as well that continue to act as a barriers to the success of gaming on Indian territory.

Dear congressman, I am writing to your regarding the gambling age in California. The issue with it is that it is 18 years old in the rare Indian casinos that don’t serve alcohol on the floor of the casino. Most casinos serve booze on the floor because it is a big money maker for them as well as the fact that the booze they have sometimes inclines people to bet more and stay longer. I agree that this mindset is not moral, but it is how they run things. My issue is that we should be able to go gamble regardless of drinking ago because at 18 we are legally adults and can go to prison and go to war.
Another reason explaining why there are many misconceptions about Native Americans has to do with the fact that they tend to be more isolated than other groups, and for this reason, knowledge about Native Americans that outsiders have is likely not to come from direct experience (Fleming, 2006). Much of the information about Native Americans is derived from popular culture. By relying on stereotypes to describe Native Americans some individuals have a belief that Native Americans are drunks, receive free money from the government, and are wealthy due to revenues from casino earnings. Another stereotype of Native Americans is that they are one with nature, deeply religious, and wise in the ways of
Considering the Oneida Indians owned all of New York State and some surrounding areas and now they own thirty two acres in Oneida New York they got a bum deal for all the help they gave the United States. Don Troiani intended to get a response similar to mine from white people but also he instilled pride into the Native American in his painting. He wanted people to remember the sacrifice the American Indians made for a country that just stabbed them in the
Initially, small tribes greeted them and bestowed them with gifts, and Cortes even acquired a translator named Malinche who would play a crucial role in the downfall of her own people. As the Spaniards moved further inland towards the Aztec capital of Tenochtitlan, they encountered larger groups of Indians, but there was little to no resistance. The question has often been discussed of why the Aztecs did not attack the Spaniards at this point. Cortes and his men were an obvious threat, and the Aztecs could have easily raised an army that would have far outnumbered Cortes’ 500 soldiers. The answer is that the
Onyale Donloe Inequality within the New Deal Critics on the left have disputed that the New Deal did not grant Americans equal access to aid. These criticisms about the New Deal are fair because the New Deal did indeed benefit some Americans more than others. Although the New Deal did benefit many people in the United States, some programs excluded different groups of Americans while providing support and aid to others. Due to this exclusion, the New Deal reinforced existing inequalities between men and women, black Americans and white Americans, and farmers and industrial workers. To begin with, Franklin Roosevelt was elected in 1932, amidst the fall of the American banking system.
“I’m a bows-and-arrows-Indian” (433). Even though right after that William explains that he is Spokane Indian, “Bows-and—arrows Indian” is the only thing that can make the Taxi driver understand he’s not from India. If they showed people in movies like Pocahontas who looked like William, people would be able to recognize Native American culture better and could relate to them more then “bows and arrows”. By watching “Real Injun” and reading “Flight Patterns”, we are able to better relate to Native American people. Through analysis, we are able to see how these images of Native Americans are shaped in our heads and how wrong these images actually are.
The laws on the subject are very hazy and for that reason tribes get caught up in court all the time trying to build a casino and they can be dragged out for years. In my opinion I don’t think it should really be that difficult of a problem. I think that if they are to be considered a sovereign nation than they should be treated as such and be allowed to build casinos as they please. I do however feel that there should be limits put on what they can do. I think the only time the state should be able step in and stop the building of an Indian casino is if it is clear that the building of that casino would have a negative impact on the economy, environment, or communities
